Brazil forward Neymar admits that his side need to "play a better game" against Costa Rica compared to the performance produced against Switzerland.

Neymar has admitted that far more is required from Brazil when they take on Costa Rica in their second World Cup outing.

The Selecao failed to live up to their tag as pre-tournament favourites as they played out a 1-1 draw with Switzerland on Sunday evening.

Against a dogged Swiss side, Neymar and Brazil's other attacking stars were unable to find their full flow and now have work to do in meetings with Costa Rica and Serbia.

After declaring himself fit for the next two Group E outings, despite carrying an ankle injury, Neymar told reporters: "I hope we play a better game than in the debut against Switzerland and we want to win.

"We want to play well. We have seen footage of Costa Rica although the important thing is to play our football."

Serbia sit top of the Group E standings after the first set of fixtures, having beaten Costa Rica 1-0 in their opener.
